Sleepy - Unstable

Sheff G X Sleepy Hallow - Switched Up On Me (Unreleased)

neighborhood hero- eli fross & sleepy

[INTRO]
Had holes in my pockets, pain in my chest,
Dreams weighed heavy, couldn’t get no rest.
Now I’m stackin’ bills, not just regrets,
I pushed for pennies, now I’m cashin’ checks.

[VERSE 1]
I remember them nights with no heat in the crib,
Mama cryin’ softly, tryna hold her tears in.
I was too young to fight, too broke to live,
So I learned the hustle, had nothin’ to give.
Had to grind in the cold, had to bleed in the rain,
Every failure carved wisdom, every scar brought pain.
They said I’d never make it, that I’d fade away,
But I used their doubt as my motivation every day.
Now I’m ridin’ clean where the dirt roads end,
Turned hunger to hustle, pain to my best friend.
The same ones laughin’ when I couldn’t pay rent,
Now they reachin’ out, but I’m all outta lent.

[CHORUS]
PUSHED FOR PENNIES, NOW I’M MAKIN’ RACKZ!
Had to crawl through the dirt just to get it back.
From the bottom of the gutter to the top of the stack,
PUSHED FOR PENNIES, NOW I’M MAKIN’ RACKZ!
Every wound, every loss made my spirit intact,
They doubted my fire, now I’m burnin’ it back.
PUSHED FOR PENNIES, NOW I’M MAKIN’ RACKZ!
You can’t fake hunger, it’s a soul contract.

[VERSE 2]
Used to count coins just to split a meal,
Now I sign checks with that boss appeal.
But the money don’t change the ghosts I feel,
They whisper in the dark, “Was it worth the deal?”
See, I lost some brothers to the streets and greed,
And I learned fast what loyalty means.
You can buy respect, but not the creed,
It’s earned in the dirt where we plant our seed.
Now I move with purpose, no time for hate,
Every setback just molded my fate.
They call me lucky, but luck don’t wait,
It’s work till your knuckles crack and break.

[CHORUS]
PUSHED FOR PENNIES, NOW I’M MAKIN’ RACKZ!
Had to fight through storms, never looked back.
Every night I prayed, every dawn I attacked,
PUSHED FOR PENNIES, NOW I’M MAKIN’ RACKZ!
You can feel my grind in every line I rap,
Ain’t no handouts, just hustle in my lap.
PUSHED FOR PENNIES, NOW I’M MAKIN’ RACKZ!
If you know pain, then you know facts.

[BRIDGE]
Now I look at the stars like, “We made it, Ma.”
But deep down I know the road still raw.
Every step forward is another test,
But I’ll take my bruises over bein’ blessed.
‘Cause I know what it’s like to have nothin’ to give,
Now I wake up thankful just to live.
Money came slow, but it built my spine,
Now I shine through grind, not through shine.

[OUTRO]
Started with hope and a pocket of change,
Now I’m countin’ racks and respect by name.
I ain’t chasin’ fame, I’m chasin’ peace,
From the block to the booth, I found release.
They said I’d fold, but I never cracked,
PUSHED FOR PENNIES, NOW I’M MAKIN’ RACKZ!
Every tear that fell turned gold on my tracks,
That’s real life, homie, no lookin’ back.
